In May, do this
1. Go to finsmes.com
2. Scrape all the startups that were recently funded
3. Look them up on LinkedIn. Alternatively, you can also use google (google AI answer mode is super smart that it can directly give you the name of decision makers). For instance, if abc shows up on finsme website, you can say “who is the founder of ABC” on google
4. Once you look them up on LinkedIn, connect with them. This is where it gets more interesting. We want to connect and also mail them. How then can we get their contacts? Read on
5. Download contactout extension here chromewebstore.google.com/de… and Apollo extension here chromewebstore.google.com/de…
6. Write a highly converting cold email, tailoring it to their business and how your skills improve their business performance
7. Writing good cold emails is hard, particularly for newbies in freelancing and those fresh from bootcamps. I simplify how to write irresistible cold emails here Selar.com/775745y8j7 (50% off for the first ten people)
8. This is a game of numbers. Send more cold emails

Struggling alone is costing you YEARS of your life.
Instead of getting a coach to help you, you think you are saving money, but you are losing the most expensive commodity - TIME.
A coach is a shortcut.

Built an AI voice receptionist from scratch for my capstone project and I genuinely cannot believe how far I’ve come.
Meet Annie, She answers calls for a restaurant called Annie’s Place, takes food orders, books table reservations, sends confirmation emails and even rejects double bookings by suggesting the next available time slot. All of this happens automatically without any human involvement.
The stack I used was n8n for the automation, VAPI to handle the voice calls and phone number, OpenAI GPT4o as the brain, ElevenLabs for the voice, Supabase as the knowledge base and Google Sheets to store all the orders and reservations.
The hardest part honestly was getting n8n to send responses back to VAPI properly. Spent way too long debugging that one. But when everything finally clicked and Annie started rejecting double bookings and suggesting alternative times on her own ,I nearly screamed.
In the video below you can see Annie taking a food order in real time. The customer tells her what they want, whether it is delivery or pickup, gives their details and Annie confirms everything and saves it straight to Google Sheets automatically.
This is just the beginning. Imagine this running in an actual restaurant handling hundreds of calls a day with zero human effort.
The full demo is for my LinkedIn fans .
This week at @Koka_AcademyLtd, I dived deeper into AI automation and workflow building using n8n and the experience has been both practical and exciting.
Here’s what I learned:
n8n Workflow Automation
Built workflows using Trigger Nodes
Practiced automation with On App Event
Created flows using Form Submission triggers
Understood how data moves between nodes in real-time
Using the Code Node:
Learned how to write custom logic inside n8n
Built an Interest Payable Formula Calculator
Combined automation with dynamic calculations
HTML Email Templates:
Designed structured HTML email templates
Learned how to style professional emails
Connected automated workflows to send customized emails
This week helped me understand how automation, logic, and design work together to build smart systems.
Thanks to coach @I_amDamola
Excited for what’s coming next! 🔥

Before our very eyes, we all literally saw this guy start with what he had, where he was..
To now meeting A-list celebs, being flown out, getting a car.
Then there’s you, waiting until you get a Sony camera Snapdragon and a Mic Trx Eagle configuration, on exactly the day the Moon is at a 60 degree angle to the Earth path.
Man! You really can just do things 🫵
I served Banga soup cooked with fresh Isoko river catfish and starch for the CEO of @Agoborjunior Restaurant and his friends and we all eat it together

Is n8n actually "dead," or is the hype just moving elsewhere?
If you look at YouTube views and Google Trends lately, you'll notice that interest in n8n has seen a dip lately.. (check attached img)
while search interest for tools like Claude code has been surpassing it..
But does a drop in "viral" views mean a tool has lost its value?
here's the reality..
• @n8n_io isn't dying; it’s maturing..
you see, n8n has carved out a solid corner in the AI automation market with a very loyal community..
• Deployment is the friction point. While it's easy to brainstorm Python scripts in Claude (Agentic Workflows are mostly built in python), deploying and maintaining them over time is often ambiguous and difficult compared to n8n..
• Visual vs. Code: n8n remains the leader for workflow automation because it is visual, simple, and has a much lower barrier to entry for building your first AI agent..
You might be asking..
Should you still learn n8n in 2026? 🤔
The answer is YES.
While code-based AI agents are trending, n8n is still the best place for a beginner to start..
WHY?
It is:
• Clearer and more visual than staring at Python scripts.
• Easier to manage when it comes to webhooks and execution data.
• Highly adopted because the barrier to entry is so low..
Even "tech-savvy" experts find jumping straight into code-based automation confusing without the foundation of how webhooks and schedules work..
Master the workflow logic in n8n first, then expand your skills into code (you don't need to write the code though..)
Don't confuse a shift in social media trends with a lack of utility...
n8n remains a powerhouse for execution, native triggers, and easy to read execution logs..
fret not.. we're not going obsolete..
